Camel Poems

I thought I knew about camels
But then found out, that's not the case
I thought they had a hump or two
And that they might spit in your face!

They will only spit when threatened
So don't be acting all crazy
What actually threatens them...Read More

He'd glimpse her, the peripheral life of her;
she lived in the corner of his eye.
She passed-by, her face and form - tidal, 
a tug on his shore.

Perhaps she was salt for his blood, spice
for nomadic mitochondria
that carried her silks and...Read More

60% of the world wealth
is owned by Billionaires
Which leaves 
the rest of the world

To function on 
forty percent 
of the world's wealth,
"getting a rich man into heaven"

Is like trying to get
a camel through
the eye of a needle
because with wealth

Gods expectation...Read More

"It harder for a Rich man to get into heaven,
than it is, for a camel to get through 
to get through the eye of a needle"
with great wealth comes great power

God expects more of the wealthy
in a position of wealth,...Read More

fter nine episodes 
Our new generation must know 
The whole thing started 
With President Carter
Who was in the Commander's chair 
And the computer dreamers were setting off Internet flairs.

Billed as a trip back to the matinee cinema of decades ago...Read More

camel and roses

Fresh bread still moist, spread a thick layer of butter
On the slice, few foods in life can taste better
Until the medical profession gives us a stark warning
It is no good for the heart and blood vessels
Guiltily I make...Read More

My sweet baby sister (AKA the traitor)
Has radars for ears and the mind of a spy,
She eavesdrops, twists facts, and then tattletales,
And proudly serves mom an elaborate lie.

I sweet talked, I begged, I bribed then I threatened,
Locked her in the...Read More

Flop, flap, pap and boots dragging across the concrete.

That’s the sound of a River Rat somewhere standing in formation forever.
 
The sound of his comrades catching him and dragging him away. The sound of him being the joke of the...Read More

A cold and calculating problem
I see
is finding resonantly warm motivation
for resilient employment
by following mere capital short-term acquisition norms
for sacred vocational gravitas,
and maybe a smidge of gratitude--
where "smidge" is warmly defined
as the opposite of cold hegemony.

Back in the golden age
of NeverLand,

Her clothes have left her.
They have crossed the floor,
riding a camel train of shadows.

Tights have twisted to fleshy mounds.
A bra gawps twice, spine bent.
Shoes topple over drunken heels.
A black dress climbs a black chair.

A vision of him closing the door
behind...Read More

Saša Milivojev - ICE AGE

 

An endless plate of ice

The camel carries me

Treading heavily

Icy tears from sobbing splutter

It stumbles

Over the tips of the pyramids

Weeping

The soul is wrenched

My firefly is not here

At nine

As it once was

Saša Milivojev - THE REJOICING SONG


Grateful to the skies
And the darkest nights,
To the moon and stars
That are my night’s lights.
Morning and the Mosques
That wake me unsleeping,
When hopes of new victories
Upon me are awakening.
Through these empyrean gardens
Where black gold is flowing,
No...Read More

In Pushkar a ride in a camel cart
Is an experience quite apart
From all other animal rides
That neither glides nor slides

The rusty brown coat of the camel
Ne’er shines like a vase of enamel
It carries a big hump on its back
A convenient...Read More

How offensive that must’ve felt!
I’m seated after having said this in bewailment like an ox
Not thinking of the grandeur but of her buttocks
Gloriously, as an ambler, I lift the embargo on this thought
Not letting myself to be aghast at the...Read More

i am
sure she
sees beauty
in my beast

as i

bestiality
in my beauty

but for both
we are animals
of the human kind
insanely not humane

she has
a camel toe
and i have a
cocteau

Seeing in the sky on a clear night
As bright as it is part is seen and part is not
Like a hunched back camel in an Arabian sea of sand
Fan by the spacious...Read More

Animal Crackers

We go to see the animals, 
the zebra and the bear.
The lion, the tiger, 
and sometimes the small hair.
No, not the one… on top of my head. 
The one that is soft and has very big, fat feet. 
He...Read More

The Lion

The lion brags he’s the king of beasts
and on other animals feasts.
That boastful reputation doesn’t sit well
with animals who are edible.

The Rooster

The rooster is a cockadoodeler 
and an early morning waker-upper.
Late sleepers call him a sleep awakener
and plot to...Read More

Some gag at a gnat,
But will swallow a camel;
And I’ve been told they,
Can make mountains from molehills
Glass is always half empty
